aobj

AOBJ is an Object Manipulation Module for Nodejs

Setup

Install in your project using npm

npm install aobj

Require in your file as

const aobj = require('aobj');

Methods

extract

extract(obj: Object, keys: Array<String>) :Object

Extract keys/value into a new Object

const person = {name: 'Donald', lastname: 'Trump', favorite_color: 'red'}
 
aobj.extract(person, ['name', 'lastname'])
// {name: 'Donald', lastname: 'Trump'}

has

has(obj: Object, keys: Array<String>) :Boolean

Check if an Object has certain keys

const person = {name: 'Donald', lastname: 'Trump', favorite_color: 'red'}
 
aobj.has(person, 'lastname') // true
aobj.has(person, ['name', 'lastname']) // true
aobj.has(person, ['name', 'lastname', 'age']) // false

clone

clone(obj: Object) :Object

Deep Clones an Object

Without Cloning

const person = {name: 'Donald', lastname: 'Trump', favorite_color: 'red'}
 
const samePerson = person;
samePerson.name = 'Mike';
 
samePerson.name; // 'Mike'
person.name; // 'Mike'

With Deep Cloning

const person = {name: 'Donald', lastname: 'Trump', favorite_color: 'red'}
 
const anotherPerson = aobj.clone(person);
anotherPerson.name = 'Mike';
 
anotherPerson.name; // 'Mike'
person.name; // 'Donald'

isEmpty

isEmpty(obj: Object) :Boolean

Check if an Object is empty

const person = {name: 'Donald', lastname: 'Trump', favorite_color: 'red'}
 
aobj.isEmpty({}) // true
 
aobj.isEmpty(person) // false

isObject

isObject(obj: Object) :Boolean

Check if a variable is an Object

const person = {name: 'Donald', lastname: 'Trump', favorite_color: 'red'}
 
aobj.isObject(person) // true
aobj.isObject({}) // true
 
aobj.isObject('') // false
aobj.isObject(new Number(1)) // false
aobj.isObject(undefined) // false
aobj.isObject(null) // false

map

map(obj: Object, action: (key: String, value: any) => { key: String; value: any; })) :Object

Like Array.map for Objects (For deep objects use traverse)

const person = {
    name: 'Donald',
    age: 10
}
 
const newPerson = aobj.map(person, (key, value) => {
    if(key == 'age'){
        key = 'birthyear';
        value = 2020 - age;
    }
    return { key, value };
});
 
console.log(newPerson);
/*
{
    name: 'Donald',
    birthyear: 2010
}
*/

mapKeys

mapKeys(obj: Object, action: (key: String) => key: String)) :Object

Like Array.map for Objects Keys (For deep objects use traverseKeys)

const person = {
    name: 'Donald',
    age: 10
}
 
const newPerson = aobj.map(person, (key) => {
    if(key == 'name') key = 'fullname';
    return key;
});
 
console.log(newPerson);
/*
{
    fullname: 'Donald',
    birthyear: 2010
}
*/

mapValues

mapValues(obj: Object, action: (value: any) => value: any)) :Object

Like Array.map for Objects Values (For deep objects use traverse)

const person = {
    name: 'Donald',
    age: 10
}
 
const newPerson = aobj.mapValues(person, (value) => {
    if(typeof value == 'number') value += 50;
    return value;
});
 
console.log(newPerson);
/*
{
    name: 'Donald',
    age: 60
}
*/

traverse

traverse(obj: Object, action: (key: String, value: any) => { key: String; value: any; })) :Object

Like map but for deeply nested objects

const house = {
    rooms: {
        dinner_room: {
            m2: 30,
            chairs: {
                oldChair: {
                    m2: 0.2,
                    age: 5
                }
            }
        },
        bedroom: {
            m2: 30,
            gamerChair: {
                m2: 0.23,
                age: 1
            }
        }
    }
}
 
const newPerson = aobj.traverse(person, (key, value) => {
    if(key == 'age'){
        key = 'year';
        value = 2020 - age;
    }
    return { key, value };
});
 
console.log(newPerson);
/*
{
    rooms: {
        dinner_room: {
            m2: 30,
            chairs: {
                oldChair: {
                    m2: 0.2,
                    year: 2015
                }

        },
        bedroom: {
            m2: 30,
            gamerChair: {
                m2: 0.23,
                year: 2019
            }
        }
    }
}
*/

traverseKeys

traverseKeys(obj: Object, action: (key: String) => key: String)) :Object

Like map but for deeply nested objects

const house = {
    rooms: {
        a: {
            m2: 120
        },
        b: {
            m2: 112
        },
        c: {
            m2: 117
        }
    }
}
 
const newPerson = aobj.traverseKeys(person, (key) => {
    if(key == 'a') key = 'Biggest_room';
    if(key == 'b') key = 'Small_room';
    if(key == 'c') key = 'Medium_room';
